52 project: “Eyes”

In trying to catch up to the target dates for my 52 project, and given how long it took me to complete “Money”, I thought I’d give myself an easy one and just take a decent picture of eyes.  As usual my ambition exceeded my estimates!  I had the thought of “I see the world in your eyes”, so I tried to Pshop the earth into this image of an eye, but it didn’t quite “fit” no matter how hard I massaged it.  I was sorely tempted to reshoot the eye so that it would better accommodate a planet, but instead I came up with the varient “When I look at you I see my whole universe”.  It worked out OK.

Not happy about the catchlight or the tiny dust flake on the eyelash, but oh well!

You might want to click on the image above to see it in a much larger resolution, so that you can better see the detail of the spiral galaxy.  I have every intention of doing the earth-in-eye image eventually, but for now I am adequately satisfied that this fulfills my self-imposed requirements for the completion of January 30th’s mildly overdue entry in my 52 project.  All done!
